that you can make with very less effort and very few ingredients that you have
at home. I usually do not fancy about making noodles, but there are days when I
am tired of cooking and days when I run out of veggies, that is when noodles
come in handy. Whatever it may be, my kids love to have noodles. Adding
vegetables is totally your choice, you can add carrot, beans, capsicum, peas,
spring onions etc, I have added just green bell peppers here. Do try out this

Gnocchi’s are a sort for pasta for potato
lovers. They are small Italian dumplings made from potatoes, flour[all purpose
flour, buck wheat flour], egg and shaped into small ovals with ridged pattern
on one side. Alternatively they can also be made from semolina flour[info
source:BBC]. Gnocchi is eaten as an
alternative to soup or salad. They are usually home-made in Italian households.
But they are also available in packets in supermarkets. I have made store bought
Potato Gnocchi and accompanied with fresh tomato sauce, but it can also accompanied
with freshly prepared Pesto Sauce as well as various other sauces.

sauce with step by step photos…

Whenever
I want to make a quick dinner, I immediately tend to make pasta. The main reason
is, it is one quick wholesome meal and my kids love it. This cilantro almond
pesto is a very easy to prepare but the taste is simply awesome. The almond pesto
can be used as dip for any kind of breads or as spread for sandwiches. The
pasta made with almond pesto is a very healthy when compared to the cheesy
pastas but it still has the nutty and creamy texture because of the almonds. Do
give it a shot friends and you will surely love it.

Noodles
are our kids favorite, but for the past one year I have stopped buying the
Maggi Noodles after having read that they are unhealthy and the masala has
preservatives in it. But my kids love noodles, so I buy the egg noodles or
plain noodles available in the market and make variations in it by adding
vegetables, eggs, chicken etc. So friends do try out this delectable Vegetable
and Egg Hakka noodles and have a great day.

“Pasta
e Ceci” means “Pasta and Chickpeas” which is actually a thick soup. In Rome
pasta e ceci was traditionally eaten during lent (40 days before Easter) on
Fridays, when the Catholic Church discouraged eating meat. Pasta e Ceci is found
throughout Italy, the one food I could find in most of the menus when we
visited Italy. But the pasta e ceci had the anchovies fillets added to it, but
I have made a vegetarian version of Pasta e Ceci and added a little bit of Indian
spices for added kick. Do try this pasta with chickpeas friends, you will
surely find it interesting and stunning.

I love
to eat pasta, but I am not a cheese person. So most of the times, I try to
avoid as much cheese as possible, but my kids love cheese to the core. Today I
made creamy, healthy, tangy and flavorful pasta without adding cheese, it was
really a winner. The addition of milk made it creamy, the addition of spinach
made it healthy, addition of sun dried tomatoes gave some tanginess and the
rest of all the ingredients gave a boost to the whole dish. Do check out other delectable pasta varieties here...

As we
all know that Pasta is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine. Pasta is made from
durum wheat flour mixed with water and formed into sheets or various shapes,
then cooked and served in different forms and varieties. As far as the pasta
bake is concerned the amount of pasta sauce added is more and slight twist is
given by adding a layer of cheese on top and baked just before serving. Another
twist that can be given to the pasta bake is you can add any leftover steamed
or grilled vegetables, sauces etc.
